I create websites.

You could call me a...

Sydney freelance Wordpress designer

(see that SEO thing I just did there?).

My journey into websites started in 1999, taking over a project from a friend in San Francisco to design and build an e-commerce store – or as it was known back then... a web site that could sell stuff; and it was all done in HTML!

More?

Apart from that, I have done a lot of things in the field of design. You can see for yourself over on my LinkedIn profile.

Here are some of the roles that stick in my mind as being pretty cool...
